Human Trafficking Arrest Made in New Orleans

BATON ROUGE, LA – A New Orleans man has been
arrested for contacting minor girls in an alleged sex
trafficking scheme.

Abraham Kalili, 40 of New
Orleans, was arrested on one count of
Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes. His arrest came
following a request from the Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control (ATC) to
the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation (LBI) to investigate a man
communicating with juvenile victims online in an attempt to lure them
into child sex trafficking.

"Human trafficking is a hideous crime whose impacts
on those exploited last forever,” said General Landry. "So my office
will continue to assist law enforcement agencies in the pursuit
of child predators violating the innocence of our State's
children."

"The ATC is dedicated to the fight against stopping
the crime of human trafficking," said ATC Commissioner Juana
Marine-Lombard. "We are proud to work with our state partners in the AG's
office and their agents who committed themselves to this case which resulted in
getting a harmful trafficker off of the streets."

The LBI Cyber Crime Unit arrested Kalili, who was on
parole for narcotics distribution, with the assistance of the LBI Violent
Crimes Unit, LBI Fugitive Apprehension Unit, ATC, Homeland
Security Investigations, Louisiana Probation and Parole, the Louisiana
State Police, and the New Orleans Police Department. He was booked into the Orleans
Parish Prison.
